Liked the look of it - and the price. But when it quit after 10 minutes when entering a harbor on a dark night on its first use, the lesson "one gets what one pays for" was driven home. Fortunately I had a back-up (that wasn't cheap - and worked).

[...] the light is awesome in appearance and vesatility, however I'd like to know how many drinks they'd had when they rated it at 3 mil CP! My 1 mil CP rechargable Dorcy is about 20% brighter than this light. However, I needed a light that didn't have a battery attached and worked soley off 12 volt. I found out the hard way that if your charge on a rechargable is dead, the 12 volt plug in won't power it at all. That said, I still would have bought it as so far it works great and it is 1/3 the weight of a recharge light. I just wish there was a little more "truth in advertising"!
